Okay, I'm gonna mention this because I don't know if it's been said or not. Even though we've had TONS of yard debris due to the storm that has been thankfully removed, I wonder how much of that debris was ACTUALLY brought down, or caused, by the ice storm? I know for a fact that there are many people who took this opportunity to clear out some overgrown bushes or limbs and have the county not only pick up the debris, but pick up the tab for it as well!

JMO, I know someone who did that too; they cut down a dead tree and added to the pile. But when you look at the impact, I think it is negligible; adding what?, pennies to the overall cost of the cleanup?
Doesn't make it right, but just sayin'....

The city of Augusta also picks up our regular yard waste weekly as part of our service. The only difference this time around is that trimming and size requirements have been abated for the duration of storm damage cleanup.
